Harun Yahya Discusses some of the miraculous secrets we can find in the Qur'an; in the Qur'an, Allah has communicated many secrets to humanity. In this book, selected verses from the Qur'an are examined in order to understand them on a much deeper level, and to bring us closer to our Lord and Creator, Almighty Allah.

Harun Yahya People today, and the young in particular, take many individuals as role models, imitate the way they behave, speak and dress, and try to be like them. Yet, since the great majority of these people are not on the right road themselves, they lack proper morality and attitudes. A Muslim needs to try to emulate the behavior and the morality of the Prophet Muhammad (saas), who was sent to mankind as the last prophet. He was a living example of the sublime morality of Allah’s last revelation. He was a friend of Allah and inspired humanity by his nearness to Him. Allah confirms that in a verse: You have an excellent model in the Messenger of Allah, for all who put their hope in Allah and the Last Day and remember Allah much. (Surat al-Ahzab: 21) Although we have never seen the Prophet (saas), we can still do our very best to come to know his exemplary behaviour, his sayings and the pleasing morality he displayed, by means of the verses of the Qur’an and the hadiths. We can try to be like him, in order to be close to him in the hereafter.The aim in writing this book is to introduce various characteristics of the Prophet Muhammad (saas), by revealing his devotion, superior morality and noble character.

Harun Yahya Here is the book for you to learn more about these marvelous creatures of God. You will see blind termites that build skyscrapers, macaws that know chemistry, or the compass in the ant’s eye. Also learn why animals don’t die of cold in winter although they live outside, how can fish breathe in water and many more puzzling features about these wonderful creatures.

Adnan Oktar & Harun Yahya There are questions about religion that people seek answers to and hope to be enlightened in the best way. However in most cases, people base their opinions on hearsay rather than acquiring them from the real source of religion: the Qur’an. In these booklets, you will find the most accurate answers to all the questions you seek answers for and learn your responsibilities towards your Creator.

Harun Yahya Prayer is one of the most explicit and virtuous expression of one’s devotion to Allah. However, it is essential that a believer should pray as described in the Qur’an. This book explains the kind of prayer that Allah demands of people. Prayer should be the most sincere way one asks the guidance of his Creator.

Harun Yahya During the last 20 years, the number of Muslims in the world has been increasing steadily. Statistics for the year 1973 indicate that the world population of Muslims was 500 million; now, it has reached 1.5 billion. Today, every fourth person is a Muslim. It is probable that the Muslim population will continue to increase and that Islam will become the world's largest religion. The reason for this steady rise is not only the increasing population in Muslim countries, but also the growing numbers of people who are turning to Islam, a phenomenon that has gained momentum, especially after the attack on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001 (hereinafter referred to as 9/11). This attack, deplored by everyone, especially Muslims, has suddenly turned people's attention (especially Americans) to Islam. People in the West are talking a lot about what kind of a religion Islam is, what the Qur'an says, what obligations come with being a Muslim, and how Muslims are required to conduct their affairs. This interest has naturally brought about a rise in the number of people worldwide turning to Islam. So, the commonly heard prediction after 9/11 that "this attack will change the course of world history" has, in a sense, started to come true. The process of returning to religious and spiritual values, which the world has been experiencing for a long time, has become a turning to Islam.

Harun Yahya The Qur’an has been sent down from the Presence of Allah to bring mankind from the darkness to the light. Our Almighty Lord Who created all the living things and mankind, shows the true and the straight path to His servants through the Qur’an. Allah says in the Qur’an: “Mankind! admonition has come to you from your Lord and also healing for what is in the breasts and guidance and mercy for the believers.” (Surah Yunus, 57). Allah invites the mankind in many verses of the Qur’an to think about the wisdom in the creatures He created, the transience of the life in this world and about the life in the Hereafter. Apart from these, in the Qur'an we can also find passages of the lives of the prophets; their sincerity in faith, their commitment to our Almighty Lord's cause, and their determination in spreading the divine message. Finally, a number of verses in the Qur'an also provide us with insight into how we should conduct ourselves in our everyday lives. In this book, based on the information provided by the Qur'an, we have talked about Allah, His Names, the real purpose of our existence in this world, what we need to do to comply with it, the reality of death and that which awaits us, the Hereafter. We highly recommend that you read this book carefully, and reflect upon its lessons, because they are intended to draw you nearer to our Creator, Almighty Allah and show you the way to infinite bliss and salvation.

Harun Yahya Discusses how to speak in a manner pleasing to Allah; many people speak without thinking, for instance, engaging in malicious gossip or mindless trivialities. In this book, we take a closer look at the best way of speaking, in a way that Allah finds best, and speaking with sincerity and truthfulness.

Harun Yahya Discusses Islam as best suited to humanity; for his people, Allah has chosen Islam as best suited to human beings, and has made His religion very easy for us to follow. This book tells us that we should always seek Allah's approval, and to resign ourselves to the destiny He has provided for us, for truly, Allah knows the truth.

Harun Yahya Dear Children! This book tells about the power of AllahWho created your mother, father, friends, all other people, animals, plants, and in short all living things, the earth, the sun, the moon and the entire universe. It talks about the might and infinite knowledge of our Lord and what He wants us to do and not to do. Do not forget, these are very important matters, which will benefit you greatly!

Harun Yahya Discusses the phrase, “seeing good in everything”; many people today say things like this, but really don't grasp the deeper meaning of it. This book attempts to get the reader to understand the deeper point to ponder regarding the blessings from our Lord, Allah, and to be truly thankful for His bounty.

Harun Yahya Discusses answer to questions Muslims may have; this book is primarily addressed to new or newer reverts to Islam, or to those who may be considering Islam. This book is also good for believers who may still be under the influence of their unbelieving societies, in answering questions they may have about Islamic morality on a range of subjects.

Harun Yahya Discusses, one by one, the attributive names of our Lord, this book seeks to draw the reader closer to Allah by examining the names of Allah, so that we may see more clearly the magnificence of our Almighty Lord, and learn more about Him.

Harun Yahya The lives of the Prophets, their calls to their nations, and their actual practices as related to us in the Qur'an are examples for the believers to follow. Furthermore, the Qur'an contains signs for the future and some mysteries upon which the believers must reflect. Such is the case with Surat al-Kahf, one of its suras. Prophet Muhammad (saas) and many Muslim scholars have pointed out Surat al-Kahf for this reason. The Qur'an's account of the Companions of the Cave (Ashab al-Kahf) and Ar-Raqim, Prophet Musa's (as) experiences with Khidhr (as) (the person of knowledge), and the account of Dhu'l-Qarnayn (as) contain many secrets and expressions hinting at the End Times. Many prophetic hadiths connect Surat al-Kahf with the End Times. In one of them, our Prophet (saas) said: "Whoever enters his (the Dajjal's) Hell, let him seek refuge with Allah and recite the opening verse of Surat al-Kahf, and it will become cool and peaceful for him, as the fire became cool and peaceful for Abraham." (Ibn Kathir) Surat al-Kahf contains the signs required for the believers' defense and fight against the Dajjal and the irreligious movements bringing so much evil to humanity, which he wants to spread around the world, as well as many lessons from which the Muslims can learn. Our Prophet's (saas) recommendation to memorize and read this sura attentively is a clear indication of this. The purpose of this book is to make readers ponder and meditate upon Surat al-Kahf, which contains very important signs for today, in order to gain insight into these secrets and to abide by the Prophets' (saas) advice. Attentive readers will see that this sura bears the signs of the End Times, a time near the Hour, during which the practices of systems of unbelief and falsehood become widespread and Allah sends forth the truth to destroy them. By Allah's will, this time is very near, so much so that it has become crucial for people to reflect upon this matter. Thus, Muslims must ponder Surat al-Kahf carefully, bear its verses in mind, and analyze each verse in light of the Qur'an's other verses.

Harun Yahya The Theory of Evolution has been around for 150 years, and has had a great influence on the way people look at the world. This book considers the invalidity of the theory of evolution at a lay level. Evolutionists’ claims on certain matters are responded to with questions that are frequently asked, the meanings of which are not often understood. The answers provided in this book can be found in more scientific detail in other Harun Yahya books such as The Evolution Deceit, and Darwinism Refuted.

Harun Yahya This book deals with a great reality which everyone experiences whether they will it or not: “Everything that constitutes our life is a totality of perceptions received by our soul. Our world and the people in it, the places and events are just like a dream perceived only in our brain. We never have any connection to the original of the external world…” Everyone who rids himself of the preconceptions and prejudices that he has acquired since his childhood and approaches this subject reasonably will understand this great reality. The subject is treated in this book by means of conversations conducted among four people. In this way, the prejudices that prevent understanding are removed and the errors that people fall into are explained. While you read the book, you will think along with these four people and, with them you will concentrate on this great reality that you experience. So, in contrast to those who ignore this extraordinary reality in which they find themselves at every moment, and live their lives in self-deception and heedlessness, you will know this great secret. Don't forget that this reality is a great knowledge that will be the means to understanding the existence of God, His eternal power and the closeness of the hereafter.

Harun Yahya Discusses devotion to Allah as set forth in the Qur'an; Muslims live to earn the good pleasure of Allah, and in so doing, believers must learn not to follow the false ideas and idols given to them by the society at large. This book discusses this matter in greater detail.

Harun Yahya Discusses the source of true morality, the Qur'an; the values of the societies in which many of us live are highly distorted, and as a result, people behave accordingly. This book shows that the duty of a believer is to live according to the values of the Qur'an, and must not let themselves be deceived by the disbelieving culture around them.

Harun Yahya In the world in which we live, mankind is caught up in a continuous search for the answers to many questions like "what?", "how?" and "in what way?", and can make but little headway in answering them. It is unlikely for man to make his way to the truth unless he asks himself the question "why?" about the extraordinary order and balance with which he interacts. In this book, we will deal with the subject of "the atom", the groundwork of every animate and inanimate thing. After seeing what occurs and in what way it occurs with regards to the atom, we will seek the answers to the question "why?" The answer to this question will take us to the truth we pursue.

Harun Yahya The most serious mistake a man makes is not pondering. It is not possible to find the truth unless one thinks about basic questions such as "How and why am I here?", "Who created me?", or "Where am I going?." Failing to do so, one becomes trapped in the vicious circle of daily life and turns into a selfish creature caring only for himself. Ever Thought About the Truth? summons people to think on such basic questions and to discover the real meaning of life.

Harun Yahya Many of the movies that have hit the big screen in recent years question the life of this world and point out that environments created in dreams or simulations by means of artificially generated signals can be very realistic indeed. This book examines sections of thought-provoking films that have a lasting impression on people and cause them to reflect on some realities. The explanations in this book describe a scientific reality that is accepted by the whole world, and wheter people agree with this or object to it will not alter the true facts concerning matter.

Harun Yahya Allah has revealed in a verse, "This is a Book We have sent down to you so that you can bring mankind from the darkness to the light, by the permission of their Lord, to the Path of the Almighty, the Praiseworthy" (Surah Ibrahim, 1), thus drawing attention to the Qur’an’s attribute of bringing people from darkness to light.

Harun Yahya People who are oppressed, who are tortured to death, innocent babies, those who cannot afford even a loaf of bread, who must sleep in tents or even in streets in cold weather, those who are massacred just because they belong to a certain tribe, women, children, and old people who are expelled from their homes because of their religion... Eventually, there is only one solution to the injustice, chaos, terror, massacres, hunger, poverty, and oppression: the morals of the Qur’an.

Harun Yahya Like all the other prophets, the Prophet Jesus ('Isa) (as) is a chosen slave of Allah whom Allah assigned to summon people to the true path. However, Allah has given the Prophet Jesus (as) some attributes distinguishing him from other prophets, the most important one being that he was raised up to Allah and that he will come back to earth again. The Prophet Jesus (as) was not crucified and killed nor did he die for any other reason. We are told in the Qur'an that they did not kill him and they did not crucify him and that Allah raised him up to His Presence. Furthermore, the Qur'an contains information about some events from the life of the Prophet Jesus (as) which have not yet happened. Thus, his second coming to earth is a prerequisite for these events to happen. There is no doubt that the events related in the Qur'an will certainly happen.This book presents evidence that the Prophet Jesus (as) did not die, that he was raised to the Presence of Allah and that he will return again. The sources used are Qur'anic verses, hadiths and the interpretations of Islamic scholars.

Harun Yahya The history of mankind could be considered as a history of prophets. God has communicated His Divine Revelation to people by means of His messengers throughout history. These messengers told people about God and communicated to them the words of our Lord. The struggle a number of prophets faced in spreading the message is depicted in detail in the Qur'an. The stories and experiences of various prophets, besides the Prophet Muhammad (saas), such as the Prophet 'Isa, Sulayman, Yusuf, Nuh, Ibrahim, and many others (peace be upon them all), are conveyed as examples.The prophet that is most frequently employed as an example in the Qur'an is the Prophet Musa (Moses) (as). The Qur’an offers detailed accounts of his difficulties with Pharaoh, beginning in his childhood, the evil conduct of his people and his struggle in communicating the message to them. His unyielding courage under the most stringent circumstances is presented with the intention of being an example to people. In this book we will examine the life of Musa (as) as it is depicted in the Qur'an. We will explore the events he has lived through as it is described. Essentially, the events in the Prophet Musa's life should not be regarded merely as events of the ancient past, but rather as events and examples to shed light to our own lives today.

Harun Yahya According to the Qur’an, neither working hard, nor growing weary, nor achieving respect or love from others is regarded as criteria of superiority. Rather, it is their belief in God, their good deeds done in order to gain His consent, and their goodwill, nurtured in the depths of their hearts, that are regarded as the criteria of superiority. Therefore, with this book, we are inviting all those sincere believers, who love God, wish to be friend with Him, and turn to Him, to search for the secret that leads to being among the successful.

Harun Yahya This book discusses our eternal enemy, satan; wherever we turn, satan, despised and cursed by Allah, has laid his traps for us, in his attempts to turn us away from our Lord. This book shows that satan is a being that we must always be on our guard against.

Harun Yahya What a difference it would make to one’s life if one were allowed to witness with one’s own eyes the demons of Hell punishing their victims, the roaring of the flames, the mad yelling of the damned, their unbearable moaning and groaning, their writhing for breath and their frantic begging to be allowed to be returned to Earth. Without a doubt, one would become a new person, one would rearrange one’s entire life. If it is the fact that we have not seen Hell that is preventing some people from fearing Allah as they should and being cautious in their daily lives, it should suffice that He has indicated the existence of Hell repeatedly in the Qur’an, describing it in all its details and warning people against it. When the time comes there will be no one who will not see Hell. Only those who fear Allah will be saved from it, the others will be left in it on their knees. (Surah Maryam: 71-72) However, there will be no benefit or advantage to be gained from seeing Hell at this point, because then, one is already beyond the point of no return...

Harun Yahya Fascism and communism, which made humanity suffer dark times, are considered to be opposed ideas. However, these ideologies are fed from the same source, on the grounds of which they can attract masses to their side. This source is the materialist philosophy and its adaptation to nature, which is Darwin’s theory of evolution. The acknowledgement of the scientific invalidity of this theory that serves as a basis for cruel dictators and vicious ideological trends will bring about the end of all these detrimental ideologies.

Harun Yahya Discusses the day when we shall be judged by Allah with regards to our deeds, both good and bad; this book seeks to remind people that they should use the opportunity they have in this life to earn the good pleasure of Allah, before it's too late, and for us to be grateful to the blessings our Lord has given us.

Harun Yahya Each prophet possesses virtues that are praised in the Qur'an. Therefore, believers must carefully study every detail of these Qur'anic accounts so that they can take these men's lives, moral virtues, and deep devotion to Allah as models for themselves. Each prophet was sent to his own tribe, experienced different situations, and used various methods to explain Allah's existence. For that reason, the natures of the prophets' tribes, and their reactions to the prophets, as well as the difficulties experienced by those who became believers and the prophets themselves, provide us with important information about how we can please Allah.This book introduces the Prophet Abraham (pbuh), who is praised in the Qur'an in these terms: "You have an excellent example in Abraham and those with him" (Surat al-Mumtahana: 4) and the Prophet Lot (pbuh), who lived during the same period, so that they can serve as role models for our own lives. Since every piece of information about these two prophets contains considerable wisdom, we shall examine their lives closely in this book so that we can follow their example.

Harun Yahya This book shows how this satanic system puts people in great danger, both in this world and in terms of their eternal life to come. We explain how it coerces them into rejecting Allah Who created them, and deifies people in His place. In various examples from daily life, we demonstrate how people fall under the control of this system. We explain what people must do to save themselves from the spell of this false religion while they still have time.

Harun Yahya Death may catch up with you at any time. Who knows, perhaps this is the moment. Or, it may be much closer than you have ever expected. These lines may be the last opportunity, the last reminder, the last warning before death comes upon you. As you proceed with these lines, you can never know that you will still be alive in the next hour. Even if it proves to be so, nothing can guarantee you another hour. Let alone an hour, not even after a single moment, is it certain that you will be still living. There is no guarantee that you will ever finish reading this book. Death will, most likely, come upon you at a time when, only a moment before, you never thought about dying. You will most certainly die, as will all your loved ones. Before you or after you, they will certainly die. A hundred years from now, there will not be a single soul you are familiar with in this world.

Harun Yahya Terrorism is a crime against humanity. It is a brutal attack on innocent people. Islam is a religion that means "peace". In the Koran, the Holy Book of Islam, God commands believers to bring peace and security to the world. Terrorism and all other mischief on Earth are the very acts that Muslims are commanded by God to stand against. The Islamic morality is the cure for terrorism, not the source of it. Those who resort to or support terrorism in the name of Islam are in a great error. They are committing a crime which God has cursed in the Koran. All true Muslims denounce terrorism of any kind, and share the sorrows of its victims.

Harun Yahya Discusses living our lives in harmony with the Qur'an; this book helps us to search the Qur'an word for word, ayat by ayat, in order to deepen our understanding of the Qur'an, and thus enable us to lead better lives.

Harun Yahya Colors, patterns, spots even lines if each living being existing in nature have a meaning. For some species, colors serve as a communication tool; for others, they are a warning against enemies. An attentive eye would immediately recognize that the colors of living beings are created just as they should be. Furthermore, he would realize that everything is given to the service of man: the blue sky, the colorful flowers, the bright green trees and meadows, together with innumerable beauties surrounding man.

Harun Yahya Discusses the importance of faith; many today have confused material success with true happiness. In this book, the reader will discover that it is through having faith in our Lord that is the true path to experiencing peace, contentment, and happiness that cannot be found through mere material possessions.

Harun Yahya Throughout their entire lives, everyone is at war with an enemy, the extent of whose strength and influence they perhaps fail to fully comprehend. He constantly invites mankind to commit evil, and many people he uses without them even being aware of it. Those who are constantly in conflict with others, who always believe that violence is the answer, who take pleasure in brutality, murder, chaos and anarchy, in short, those who harm the peace and security of the world, have lost the war against this foe, whether they realize it or not, and have fallen under his control. This most dangerous enemy is the Devil.

Harun Yahya This book examines satanism in all its aspects. How can a philosophy that turns violence and horror into a religious ritual and bloodshed into an act of worship be so widespread? This book shows that the starting point of satanism is opposition to religious morality: Those who support this perversity have been brought up outside the practice of religious morality and been influenced by materialism. In fact, satanism is widespread and has an influence on young people particularly. But it is quite wrong to think that nothing can be done about it. Indeed, it is quite simple to counter this perversity: The moral teachings of the Qur’an are the only way to rescue people from the grip of satanism. The light of the Qur’an can destroy satanism and, if Allah wills, create a world of enlightenment, love and peace. When the affair is decided, satan will say, “Allah made you a promise, a promise of truth, and I made you a promise but broke my promise. I had no authority over you, except that I called you and you responded to me. Do not, therefore, blame me but blame yourselves. I cannot come to your aid, nor you to mine. I reject the way you associated me with Allah before.” The wrongdoers will have a painful punishment. (Surah Ibrahim, 22)

Harun Yahya The Qur'an and the related hadiths tell us that Jesus (pbuh) will come back to Earth again in the End Times, the times preceding the Day of Judgment. In addition, the signs of this event as revealed in the New Testament have parallels with those stated in the hadiths. Jesus’ return to Earth, a belief held by both Christians and Muslims, will end this world's all-pervasive cruelty and injustice and transform it into a place of peace, abundance, and justice. This book examines the signs of Prophet Jesus' (pbuh) second coming from the Islamic sources and how the signs that they provide have come true one by one. People witnessing these signs may, by God's Will, hope that his return is close. The world is also getting sociologically prepared for such a great event. The chain of events through which humanity has passed during the last two centuries has, both covertly and overtly, raised the expectation of a savior in the minds of people all over the world. People have increasingly seen that materialistic ideologies and lifestyles cannot save humanity; rather, they lead humanity closer to disaster and emptiness. This situation has caused many people to turn to the morality of religion. It is no coincidence that this sociological infrastructure has been established at a time when the signs of Prophet Jesus' (pbuh) second coming appear one after another. By God's Will, Prophet Jesus' (pbuh) return will cause religion's morality to pervade all over the world and all sincere believers to attain security. Along with all other believers, we hope that our Lord will honor us by letting us meet this blessed visitor and enable us to make the best preparations to meet him.

Harun Yahya Love is one of the greatest blessings that Allah gives to people. Allah has created people in such a way that they enjoy being loved and loving others. The true source of love in the believers’ hearts is their profound love of Allah. Believers love Allah greatly and, at every moment, strive to gain His love and good pleasure. Whoever loves Allah also loves His creations, feels compassion and mercy for them. This book seeks to remind people of the importance of feeling love toward our Lord, and the importance of Allah’s love toward His creations and the believers, as well as to demonstrate that the lack of love, which is a sign of those who deny His existence, is a great catastrophe and punishment.

Harun Yahya How was matter and time created from nothingness? What does the Big Bang theory signify about the creation of the universe? How can a time slice of centuries in our view be a single "moment" in another dimension? What is the parallelism between Einstein's Theory of Relativity and the Qur'anic verses? All of these questions are answered in this book where it is described that time and matter are not absolute truths but mere perceptions. If you want to learn the truths about space, matter, time and fate, read this book.

Harun Yahya Discusses the messengers of Allah, and their message; with this book, the reader will become more aware of the hardships and sacrifices made by the messengers of Allah in the efforts to spread His religion, and to bring the good news to the ignorant societies and spare them from Allah's Wrath.

Harun Yahya What kind of world do you live in? A world of solid ground with people and trees, oceans with clouds above it and, higher still, the enormous emptiness of space? Are you one of the billions of people in that world? If you answer "yes" to those questions, then you are mistaken! If you were able to answer "yes" to them, then that means that throughout the course of your life you have probably ignored a most important truth. Your brain is a locked room which you can never step out of, because everything you imagine to be the "outside world" in reality consists of perceptions you experience in the visual or hearing centers of your brain. The "tower" we are speaking of is your body, and the little room atop it (in other words, your world) is your brain.

Harun Yahya Discussion of the great hope we find in the Qur'an; a believer always has hope for the blessings of our Lord, Allah, and will do his best to summon people to the way of righteousness, to forbid evil, and to maintain his enthusiasm towards his faith.

Harun Yahya Discussion, as the title suggests, of the basic tenets of Islam; Allah has invited mankind to know Him through Islam. In this book, we discuss matters such as the lives of the Prophets, the temporary nature of our lives, and what we need to do to comply with the will of Allah.

Harun Yahya Like the other prophets, the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) called upon his people to worship Allah, the One and Only, and to avoid all forms of denial, polytheism, and evil. Those who rejected him oppressed him and his followers. However, their plot to kill him failed, even though they thought that they had succeeded, because Allah raised the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) to His Presence. As Allah reveals in the Qur’an and the hadith corroborate, the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) will return to Earth. Those who claim that he was killed or is dead are seriously mistaken. This is one of the author’s main focuses. While revealing this truth, the author recalls other very important tidings, such as the fact that the signs of the Prophet Jesus' (pbuh) second coming are becoming ever more apparent. If Allah wills, this event is close at hand, and the world will witness momentous events when it occurs.

Harun Yahya What is explained in this book is an important truth, which has surprised many and changed their perspectives on life. This truth can be summarized as follows: "We cannot have direct experience of any of the events and objects that we encounter in real life-buildings, people, cities, cars, places-in fact, any of the things we see, hold, touch, smell, taste and hear. We only confront visions and feelings formed in our brains". There is matter outside, yet we may never know the actual of the matter. We assume with the inculcation we have been given that these are invariable in a world outside our brains and hence that we see and feel the actual of them. However, in reality we never see real existing materials and we never touch real materials. In brief while assuming all through our lives that we deal with the matter outside, in reality we know the copy and image of everything. This is not a philosophical speculation. It is an empirical fact that has been proven by modern science. Today, any scientist who is a specialist in medicine, biology, neurology or any other field related to brain research would say, when asked how and where we see the world, that we see the whole world in the vision center located in our brains. This fact has been scientifically proven in the twentieth century, and although it may seem surprising, it necessarily implies answers to two questions; "Since throughout our lives we confront the images formed in our brains, then who is it that creates these visions? And who is it that sees these visions in our brains without having eyes and enjoys them, gets excited and happy?" You will find the answers to these two important questions in this book.

Harun Yahya Discusses hypocrisy from a Qur'anic perspective; throughout history, there have always been hypocrites, people who say one thing, and act differently. This book examines the hypocrites from the point of view of Allah's revealed Word, the Qur'an, and the type of characteristics they display, and the harm they try to cause.

Harun Yahya Devotion and cooperation in animals provide evidence of an important truth: that the whole universe has been created by a superior being; and that each and every creature acts on the inspiration of God, its Creator. In this book, you will be reading about some of the astonishing and admirable behaviors exhibited by animals, who have no power of intellect. Anyone of reason and conscience will easily understand that such behavior can occur only by the power and control of God, the Lord of all living things.
